2014 Map of Croff

About this map

The Little Missouri National Grassland dominates this portion of western North Dakota, where the deeply dissected topography of the Badlands meets the meandering path of the Little Missouri River. The settlement of Croff sits in the northern reaches, positioned near the intersection of Beaver Creek Rd and 110th Ave NW. This landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, including Lone Beaver Cr, Bear Den Cr, and Burnt Cr, which carve through the high plains toward the river valley. Evidence of the region's energy economy is visible at the Bear Den Oil Field, tucked between the hills east of the main river channel. The border between McKenzie Co and Dunn Co bisects the southern half of the quadrangle, marking a transition in local jurisdiction across this protected grassland.
